What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Good morning, my friends. That most-hated task, grocery shopping, is finished for the week. We got off to a late start yesterday morning. It was after lunch time when we got home. We put everything away, had our lunch, and then we each took naps...pretty much required after a grocery shopping trip. Finally, I was able to get back to my sewing. 

It took a while, but I finished the hand-stitching on the ninth of nine blocks for the Merry, Merry Snowmen project.

Good morning, my friends. It was another easy-going day. Today will get a little busier. We need to do our grocery shopping. We had a short list last week, which means this week's list is longer. Oh well. As a team, we can get through our shopping excursion pretty quickly. After that, I'll get back to the Merry, Merry Snowmen. 

There was good progress made on yesterday's block. I expected to get the fusing finished, and I did.

Good morning, my friends. I gave myself an easy day yesterday. There were a few small tasks to take care of, and I did a Bowflex workout. Also, I pureed the watermelon given to us by our CSA farmers. I'll make some watermelon sorbet from that later today. I've made sorbet from all kinds of fruit, but watermelon is my favorite.

Since I was taking a lazy day, I didn't make it into the sewing room until late in the day. Smitty was my helper cat.

Good morning, my friends, and Happy Fourth of July to all who celebrate. We find ourselves in Anchorage this morning.

Good morning, my friends. We hit the end of the road today...not the end of the trip. We reached the end of the Alcan Highway. Like I said, there was a place for an obligatory selfie. Happily, the marker is located at the Visitor Center in Delta Junction. A very nice man greeted us there and offered to take our picture.

But let's just back up to the beginning of our day. Of course, we enjoyed more stunning views of the mountains. The scenery never gets old.

 Good morning, my friends. We're one day closer to D-Day. As I'm writing, the sky is clearing and we're expecting some nice weather ahead for our final packing effort. Today I want to get out and pick a bucket of weeds. We're having a pre-trip war with the weeds, beating them back so the place doesn't disappear in a big tangle while we're gone. Mike will be out doing some spraying of the little "weed lawns" where the little sprouts are too numerous to pull up. As for my bucket, I'll be pulling ...

Good morning, my friends. It's a foggy and wet Tuesday here. We had pretty decent weather yesterday, but it started raining overnight. That's pretty typical spring weather in the Pacific Northwest. We're doing our grocery shopping this morning, and so I'm hoping the wet stuff will stay in the heavens while we're out and about. Grocery shopping is bad enough without having to do one's loading and unloading in the rain.

With yesterday's weather fairly decent, Smitty kept me company while I walked around to check on the flowers.

Good morning, my friends, and Happy Easter! When I woke up yesterday morning, I felt very much refreshed after taking it easy for a couple of days. Sewturday is the day I've given myself during the week in which I am guaranteed nothing but sewing. But it was a pretty day yesterday, and so I ended up doing a little of everything. 

Anne Lamott wrote a piece for the Washington Post recently about being born "for times like these." She and I are approximately the same age. She says in the piece that she's 71, and I am ...

Good morning, my friends. It seems I needed a day off from sewing yesterday. It was such a pretty day, and I didn't want to spend the afternoon in my windowless basement sewing room. There was some time for slow-stitching in the morning. These Le Jardin blocks are small, but they take more time to stitch than expected.

Good morning, my friends. We had some beautiful weather over the weekend, but it looks like we're in for a wet week. We're promised a lot of rain over the next several days. Oh well. It's nice while it lasts. At least it's warmer than it was a month ago. 

Since I missed my NBS day on Sewturday, I designated Sewnday as an alternative NBS day, and that's what I did yesterday. All sewing, all the time. The morning started with me taking the first stitches on the second block for "S" is for Sew ...
